Hi, I'm an undergrad and will be applying for MDPHD/MSTP. I am highly interested in cardiolgy. I'm aware of the research that must be done to make one competitive. However, I'm inquiring if an MDPHD gives one a significant advantage when it comes to residency and fellowship placement due to the built in research. I plan on getting my phD in some kind of molecular biology area regarding the heart. I'm not doing for just for fellowship placement, I'm just curious if the MD PHD will give one a significant boost. I noticed most cardiologists are MD's and not MD PHD's. I'm especially interested in EP.
